    Which breeds the caption: “How health insurance may have made health care more expensive.”

    Looks like you’re falling for another bullshit right-wing conspiracy theory embraced in the GOP Platform:
    “Let’s do away with Social Security and Medicare.”

    In this case, “Health insurance makes health care more expensive,” so let’s do away with Medicare.

    It only took them one paragraph to blame the sick for hospitals that refuse to post prices and overcharge; and Big pharma bribing Republicans to force Medicare to pay whatever Big Pharma wants and prevent them, or the American
    public from shopping out of country.

    About two months ago a leading Wall Street magazine posted how Big Pharma produced 22 billionaires in the
    last two years. I don’t remember if it had the number of new millionaires. The fact my pills cost $1,500 a day
    goes a long way toward that. Medicare picking up 80% and my secondary insurance picking up all the rest after
    my $60 a month copay. And for those without insurance? “Sell your house, all but one car, and all your saving,
    then, and ONLY then, will Medicaid pick up the cost. (And Medicaid can negotiate prices).

    Perhaps we should ask our learned friend in Canada, BillB how much he’s in debt to the medical profession, what
    With his kidney transplant and associated medial expenses. (And why he’s not, along with other leading advanced
    countries WITH socialized medicine).

    Christ, Risky. How do you so consistently dodge facts and data to where you can't even address them?
